Rumour Has It ( Savage MC Book One)

chapter twenty four- let your mischievous inner teen out every now and again

Millie
"Are you nuts? No!" I whisper-yelled. Throwing his head back Pin laughed silently.
"I dared you" he smirked, his eyes hazed from the drink we had consumed tonight.
It was Saturday night, we were on our date. I thought we'd go for dinner and maybe a movie but I should have known with Pin nothing was ever normal.
Instead our night had started with Pin saying I was going to 'let go" which led to us sitting in his apartment getting drunk and smoking while watching comedy movies. Somewhere along the way we got into a competition to see who was the bigger chicken which led us to where we were now, Pin daring me to egg a house.
"It's mean" I whispered back outraged. This time his laugh wasn't silent.
"You chicken?" He taunted. Narrowing my eyes I turned toward the row of clean cut, well kept houses.
"Which one?" I asked determind to win. He smirked proudly between pulls of his fag.
"You pick" His shoulders shook. Turning back I considered each house drunkenly. Focusing on one I let go. Four eggs later and lights started to go on in the house, starting upstairs and working there way down.
"Run!" I squealed as Pin doubled over laughing. I didn't make it ten steps before flashing blue and red lights went off and I had a police car pull up beside me.
Holy shit.

"Ok hold on a second...let me get this straight, you brought these two in because they..egged a house?" Aine asked the officer that stood in front of the row of seats in the police station where me and Pin sat. He shook his head in bewilderment, both of them staring at us.
"Was on my way home, I live two doors down from Mr. Roger" the officer said, Mr. Roger being the man whose house I egged. " wasn't sure I saw it right at first...two grown ass people" he shook his head again, "Mr. Rogers isn't pressing charges for vandalism, they just need to go back and clean it up" the office levelled us with the look a teacher gives naughty children," tomorrow, all day".
" We'll be there" I said, mortified.
"Thanks Sir. I appreciate your work " Aine smiled her radiant smile at the officer before levelling her mother hen look on us," you two, my car outside. Now."
Reduced to bold children we made our way outside, stumbling slightly as we were both still fully intoxicated.
It wasnt until we were in the car driving home that the full events of the night replayed in my head. Bursting laughter filled the silence in the car, soon my laughter was joined by Pins deep throaty one.
"Not funny guys...you got arrested...you egged an old man's house...you could have been charged" Aine tried to keep a straight face. But one look at my tear stained face she started to laugh too.
"Egging a house though, really?" She shook her head.
"It was a good night" Pin laughed " should have seen Mills face..." he roared with laughter again.
"I don't even know what to do with you anymore" Aine rolled her eyes as we pulled up home.

"I'm never drinking with you again" I snapped at Pin as we washed the windows of Mr. Rogers house with hot soapy water. It was about two in the day and we had been here since nine. I could still feel the headache making its way through my entire brain, the stupid sun shining brightly wasn't helpful either.
"Just wait until I take you out again" he joked.
"Nope, friendship over. The fact that my son knows better than to do what we did last night is just bad" I said rubbing at my temple. He laughed in reply.
We were nearly finished. Taking a step back five minutes later I rubbed at my temples and eyes as I continued to look at the now clean front of the house.
"Head sore?" Pin asked from beside me as he refilled a bucket from the garden hose. I nodded.
"It's fecking hot too " I mumbled.
"Yeah I could do with cooling down myself" he said. "Something cold right about now would be nice wouldn't it?" He suggested.
"Oh yeah" I agreed closing my eyes as I willed my head to calm down. Bad mistake on my part. Eyes closed left me vulnerable and Pin took complete advantage.
Ice cold water rained down over me from a bucket of water Pin had in his hands. Screaming murder I turned on Pin.
Backing several feet away from me he laughed hysterically.
"What? I'm just helping! You're welcome" he laughed again, "you look like a little angry cat".
"I'm going to kill you" I raged.
"Careful or Mr. Officer will hear you and you'll be arrested again" he laughed again. Head back eyes closed I took my opertunity. Grabbing the hose I sprayed him and listened to his laugh turn into a yelp. Now it was me who was laughing.
"Not too fun is it?" I smirked at him as he narrowed his eyes at me.
"You'll regret that" he promised before lunging at me. Screaming laughing I ran, holding the hose facing him I tried to ward him off with water but he was determind. Grabbing my wrists he started to turn the hose back on me.
"No no no no truce!I'm sorry Pin...No-" I was cut off by water spraying directly into my face. Laughter filled the yard from Pin and someone else. Blinking water out of my eyes I looked toward the drive to see Buck with Layla on the back of his bike and Cut and Jessica stopped in the road looking at us. Pin threw the turned off hose away from us as Layla laughed, "You're worse than my kids".
"He started it" I snapped and Pin laughed, throwing his arm around my shoulder and pulling me close.
"She can't deal with the fact that she lost" he said. I forgot our audience and turned on him.
"I did not! I did the dare!" I poked his chest.
"I win, Bud" I stomped my foot. Shaking his head in amusement at me he grinned. "Christ you're cute".
"So what did you do? Aine wouldn't tell us after she got the call to pick you guys up from the station" Buck asked. Glancing sideways at Pin I kept my lips sealed. He laughed at my expression, "Just having some fun" he shrugged not saying anything.
Layla shook her head, knowing damn well there was a story there.
"Dinner in the compound tomorrow night okay?" She said as Buck revved his bike.
"Sure thing Layla. I'm going to get Millie home, she needs a shower" Pin said. It was then I felt it, the tension and anger coming from Cut. However when I looked at him, his face was void of all expression. As Buck pulled away he did too but not without one final long hard look at Pin, a look Pin returned silently.
When the sound of their bikes drifted into the distance I turned to Pin as we walked toward his parked truck, one I'd only found out last night that he owned.
"What was that?" I asked and he shrugged.
"Pin." I said again and this time he turned and looked at me.
"Stoker needs to sort his shit out, that's all Millie" that wasn't much of an answer but I was afraid to push forward so I left it at that. Pin seemed troubled the drive home, his easy going aura long gone and instead a tense silence sat between us. Pulling up to my apartment he leaned over and kissed my cheek and then my hair.
"Go shower and get warm, Millie" he whispered there before pulling away.
Unbuckling myself I turned to fully face him.
"Thank you. I know we got arrested or whatever but thank you for today and yesterday. I haven't had that muh fun since... it's been a long time" I smiled softly and his face turned timid, losing the lines of deep thought and relaxing into that easy going smile that's ever present on his face.
"My pleasure, next week we'll rob a store and toilet paper my exes house " he joked. Laughing I existed the car and made my way up to my apartment. Waving goodbye I closed and locked the door before getting into the shower. Aine had Fiachra today since I had to go clean.
While drying my hair I reflected on the last twenty four hours. It was different, something completely new and something I had never considered wanting since Cut had come back into my life. But standing in front of the mirror as my hair blew everywhere from the hair dryer I couldn't help but think this thing with Pin may be something I wanted to explore.
